The Droid You're Looking For

Before Prohibition, New York was known for its rye. After it ended, the distillers never returned. Until now. Tuthilltown Spirits (tuthilltown.com) in Gardiner, New York began making booze two years ago, including Government Warning Rye ($40), whose spicy, peppery flavor says what an official name can't. Next to it you'll find its brother, Hudson Baby Bourbon ($40), made from 100 percent New York corn and sporting fruit notes that aren't overly sweet.
